Table 86 Ethernet Port Configuration: VLAN Stacking

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Role

Select Normal to have the switch ignore frames received (or transmitted) on this port with

 

VLAN stacking tags. Anything you configure in SPVID and Priority is ignored.

 

Select Access Port to have the switch add the SP TPID tag to all incoming frames

 

received on this port. Select Access Port for ingress ports at the edge of the service

 

provider's network.

 

Select Tunnel Port (available for Gigabit ports only) for egress ports at the edge of the

 

service provider's network. In order to support VLAN stacking on a port, the port must be

 

able to allow frames of 1526 Bytes (1522 Bytes + 4 Bytes for the second tag) to pass

 

through it.

 

 

SPVID

SPVID is the service provider's VLAN ID (the outer VLAN tag). Enter the service provider

 

ID (from 1 to 4094) for frames received on this port. See the chapter on VLANs for more

 

background information on VLAN ID.

 

 

Priority

Select the priority level of the inner IEEE 802.1Q tag.

 

"0" is the lowest priority level and "7" is the highest.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save the changes.

 

 

16.9 Queue Method

Queuing is used to help solve performance degradation when there is network congestion.

Depending on your device model, use the Switch Setup screen to configure queuing algorithms for outgoing traffic (refer to Section 14.1 on page 143).

To open the configuration screen, right-click on the switch in the Device List Panel, and click Configuration > Ethernet Port > Queue Method. Then select a device and the port(s) to which you want to apply this configuration.
